Just A Dream

It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
all dressed in white, going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat,
six pins and his shoe
somthing borrowed somthing blue and when the church doors opened up wide she put her veil down trying to hide the tears oh
she just couldn’t believe it
she heard the trumpets from the military band and the flowers out of her hands

Baby, why'd you have to leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I cant even breathe
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our head and pray
lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt
then the congregation all stood up and sang the sadest song
that she ever heard then they handed her a folded up flag and she held on to all she had left of him oo and what could’ve
been and then guns rang one last shot and it felt like a bullet in her heart

[Chorus]
Baby, why'd you have to leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
oohh ill never know
I cant even breathe
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

repeat chorus x2
Oh this is just a dream
just a dream, (ya) [fading out]
